After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

On the way to the airport with Chu Lin, Chu Yanyi suddenly thought of something and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Song Yanxi.

[Don’t come to see me after get off work. I’m on my way to Province S now.]

Soon, I received a reply.

[What are you doing in Province S? Is it a business trip? ]

Chu Yanyi saw the text message sent by Song Yanxi, thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth: [I'm not on a business trip, I'm going back to my uncle's house. My family knows that Chu Lin has entered the entertainment industry, and he asked me to accompany him back and plead for him. ]

[Have you boarded the plane? ]

【not yet. 】

【When are you coming back? 】

It’s a rare opportunity for Chu Yanyi to come back, so he plans to stay at his uncle’s house for a few days.

【Maybe in a few days.】

[Can I come find you?]

【Aren’t you busy at work? 】

[I'm busy. I have to go on a business trip to another province in two days. ]

【Work hard and don't come to me. 】

【But work is not as important as you. 】

Chu Yanyi looked at the expression attached to his message and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

【Don't work too hard, take some rest. 】

"Brother, who are you messaging? Is it Mr. Song?" Chu Lin came over to take a look.

Chu Yanyi slapped his head away: "Didn't you call him a dog man before? Why are you calling him Mr. Song now?"

"After all, he is your boyfriend now. It would be rude of me to call him a bitch."

"He's not my boyfriend."

"You're living together, so how come you're not boyfriends? Could it be that you're just living together as sex partners and you're not together yet?"

Chu Yanyi was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

Chu Lin: "..."

After checking the tickets and getting on the plane, Song Yanxi sent another message as soon as I sat down.

[Have you boarded the plane? ]

【Just got on the plane. 】

【Let me know when you arrive. 】

【Um. 】

Song Yanxi stared at the word "hmm" again and again. He thought that the two of them were already living together and their relationship was as close as a couple in love. Chu Yanyi should agree to let him meet his relatives.

Now it seems that he thought too much.

In that guy's mind, his identity is still at the stage of a sex partner.

A sex partner who lives together.

Song Yanxi threw his phone aside dejectedly and continued working.

When Chu Yanyi and Chu Lin got off the plane, night had just fallen.

The Chu family is a century-old scholarly family. The quaint house is quite old and the outer walls have turned gray.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw my uncle Chu Yunsheng, my aunt Shu Yun, and my cousin Chu Qin waiting at the door.

"Uncle, aunt, cousin." He greeted them one by one.

Shu Yun came over quickly, took his hand, and said in a friendly and enthusiastic tone: "Yanyan, are you tired of flying?"

Chu Yanyi smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "It's only a two-hour flight. I'm not tired at all."

"You've lost weight. You must be busy with work and don't take good care of yourself."

"No way, I've gained a lot of weight. Some of my old clothes don't fit me anymore."

Chu Lin felt a little jealous when he saw this scene, and hugged Shu Yun's arm to please her: "Mom, I am your son, why don't you care whether I am fat or thin?"

Shu Yun glared at him and said, "Compared to someone as troublesome as you, I would rather Yanyan be my son."

Chu Lin: "..."

Chu Yunsheng glanced at him coldly and said to Shu Yun, "Don't just talk. Yanyan must be hungry. Let's go in and eat."

"Yes, yes, Yanyan, let's go inside and eat."

"Okay, Auntie."

Chu Yanyi followed the two into the house.

As for the suitcase, he didn't need to carry it, as the servant would take it.

Chu Lin did not follow into the house, but pulled Chu Qin and said, "The look in Dad's eyes just now made my back cold. I felt that I was not far from death."

"How dare you say that." Chu Qin poked his forehead hard with her index finger. "If Mom hadn't seen you on the variety show today, we wouldn't have known you were in the entertainment industry. You're amazing. You kept everyone in the dark."

Chu Lin touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "If I tell you, you will object. I have no choice but to hide it. Sister, did Dad tell me to quit the entertainment industry?"

Chu Qin shook her head. "He didn't say that, but he was very angry. He got so angry at home that he almost smashed his favorite antique inkstone."

After Chu Yanyi entered the room, he took out two beautifully packaged boxes from his suitcase and handed them to Chu Yunsheng and Shu Yun: "Uncle and aunt, this is the gift I bought for you in Country F some time ago."

Chu Yunsheng took it with a smile: "Yanyan, we are very happy that you are back, no need to bring a gift."

Shu Yun agreed: "Yes, Yanyan, you are too polite. Your uncle and I don't lack anything. Don't waste money next time."

"It's our duty to honor our uncle and aunt. How can it be a waste of money?"

Chu Yunsheng: "Yanyan, go wash your hands, dinner will be served soon."

Chu Yanyi nodded.

After washing my hands, I suddenly remembered that Song Yanxi had arrived and asked me to send him a message, so I took out my phone and edited [I've arrived].

After I finished sending it, I wanted to say something, but then I heard Chu Yunsheng shout, "Yanyan, come and eat."

"I'll be right away."

His eyes stayed on the chat box on the WeChat page for a moment, and he put the phone in his pocket.

After dinner, Chu Yunsheng asked Chu Lin to go to the study with him. The latter kept winking at Chu Yanyi, motioning him to follow.

Chu Yanyi smiled helplessly and mouthed silently: "I can't help you now, you're on your own."

The study is a serious place. Chu Yanyi usually would not step into Chu Yunsheng's study without permission.

Chu Yunsheng specifically called Chu Lin to the study, obviously not wanting him to plead for Chu Lin.

After closing the door of the study, Chu Yanyi took out his cell phone and looked at it. Song Yanxi had not replied to the message he had sent earlier. He guessed that he was too busy at work and had no time to check his phone.

After looking through their recent chat history again and hesitating for a moment, he sent a message: [Have you eaten? ]

After sending the message, there was no reply for nearly half a minute, so he edited another message and sent it: [Are you still busy with work? ]

Chu Qin raised her eyebrows slightly and stared at him: "She's holding her phone right after dinner. Who is Yanyan chatting with? Isn't she chatting with her boyfriend?"

Chu Yanyi's eyelashes moved, but she didn't show any emotion on her face: "I don't have a boyfriend."

Chu Qin didn't believe it, and moved closer curiously. When she saw the three words "Song Yanxi" on the chat page, she immediately understood.

"Sure enough, she is chatting with her boyfriend."

Chu Yanyi was speechless: "He is not my boyfriend."

Chu Qin put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him with a smile: "If you two live together, you are still not a boyfriend? You are not just playing around with him, are you? If you are just playing around, there is no need to let him live in your house. How can you bring a sex buddy into your house to live with you?"

Chu Yanyi was even more speechless now: "How did you know that I live with him?"

"Qi An said so. Some time ago, he pulled all the family members except you into a group, saying that he wanted to tell us something big."

"What he calls a big deal is the fact that Song Yanxi and I live together?"

"Yes."

Chu Yanyi: "..."

Chu Qian'an, this little traitor!

He decided to send this little traitor back to Country Y as soon as the summer vacation started.

"Originally, when you came back this time, I thought you would bring Song Yanxi with you, but it turned out that we had waited for nothing."

Chu Yanyi: "..."

The two chatted for a while and Chu Yanyi returned to the room.

His room is very spacious, with an entire wall of wardrobes filled with clothes and pants in his size. The transparent glass display cabinets are also filled with sunglasses, watches, brooches and other accessories.

After opening the suitcase and packing his luggage, Chu Yanyi took out a set of silk pajamas from the closet and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom is fully stocked with toiletries and has a huge jacuzzi.

After washing up and coming out of the bathroom, he picked up his phone and looked at it. Song Yanxi had not replied to the several messages he had sent.

He rubbed his face, threw his phone on the bedside table, and took out a hair dryer to blow dry his hair.

After drying his hair, he went to the balcony. There were parasols and rattan chairs on the spacious balcony. He sat on the rattan chair and looked up at the bright starry sky above his head.

Song Yanxi set a special reminder tone for his WeChat messages. Unless there were special circumstances, Song Yanxi would usually reply immediately to the messages he sent.

However, the few messages I sent today seemed to have fallen on deaf ears, and there has been no reply so far.

This is the first time this has happened, except for the two years when she was his mistress.

What is Song Yanxi busy with? Why hasn’t he replied to the message yet? Has something happened?

When Chu Yanyi was staring at the night sky in a daze, the cell phone in the bedroom rang.

Thinking it might be Song Yanxi calling, he got up impatiently and went into the bedroom.

I picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed Song Yanxi.

"Yanyan, I'm in Province S."
